Non-Domestic Energy Efficiency Framework for Bristol City Council Energy Service

Formal Notice of Cancellation and Subsequent Re-advertisement of the Following Procurement:

Bristol City Council (BCC) is seeking to establish a framework for the survey, advise, supply and install all of the following non-domestic energy efficiency services:

• LED Lighting and Controls,
• Insulation (Cavity, Loft and Pipework),
• BMS (Building Management System)/BEMS (Building Energy Management System),
• Energy and Building Services Efficiency Improvements.

Additional information:

BCC has made the decision to cancel this current procurement process. Having reviewed tender responses BCC considers this the best course of action for the following reasons:

• A lower quantity and quality of response from the market than envisaged
• A greater number of clarification questions than envisaged

It is BCC's intention to improve on the process; accordingly BCC will review the procurement documents and hold a supplier engagement session. BCC will also review the procurement procedure previously used and consider adopting the restricted procedure to "pre-qualify" suppliers based on their financial standing and technical or professional capability so as to narrow the number permitted to submit bids.

BCC remain committed to the establishment of a non-domestic energy efficiency framework. It is its intention to re-advertise the opportunity shortly and BCC encourage all interested suppliers to respond.
